Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for measuring the disturbance level of a base station environment, which base station comprises at least one receiver utilizing frequency hopping, and means for measuring the signal level of signals received by the receiver.
  • the invention further relates to a cellular communication system comprising a mobile switching centre, a base station controller and base stations, whereby the system comprises a base station with at least one receiver utilizing frequency hopping, and means for measuring the levels of the signals received by the receiver.
  • the present invention relates to spectral analysis carried out in the base station environment, the object of the analysis being to detect and locate the factors disturbing the system.
  • a separate spectrum analyzer is taken to the base station site whenever problems occur.
  • the spectrum analyzer is then used for monitoring possible disturbances by measuring the signal levels of the received signals on all the frequency channels used by the base station.
  • the disturbance that disturbs the operation of a base station is sporadic (a fast data link, for example), it has even been necessary to wait for its occurrence.
  • the object of the present invention is to solve the aforementioned problems and offer a more user friendly and faster method for carrying out disturbance level measurements in a base station environment.
  • This object is achieved by the method of the invention which is characterized by allocating a free traffic channel in the receiver, making the traffic channel hop from one receive frequency channel of a base station to another, and measuring the signal levels of the signals received on the frequency channels, and transmitting a report on the measurement results to the operator.
  • the present invention further relates to a cellular communication system in which the method of the invention can be utilized. It is characteristic to the system of the invention that a base station comprises measuring means for making a traffic channel hop from one receive frequency channel of a base station to another, and for measuring the signal levels of the signals received on said frequency channels, as well as transmitting a report on the measurement results to the base station controller.
  • the invention is based on the idea that measuring disturbance level of a base station environment is made considerably easier and faster as the measurements are carried out by making a free traffic channel of a base station hop so that it goes through all the receive frequency channels of the base station, and measures the levels of signals received on all of those channels. If the base station is sectorized, the measurements can be carried out, for example, in one sector at a time.
  • disturbance level measurements strain the traffic capacity of the base station very little, because the measurements can be carried out by using a single time slot.
  • the communication system in question is not of a time divisional type, this means that the disturbance level measurements take up the entire capacity of a receiver for the duration of the measurements.
  • Disturbance level measurements in accordance with the present invention can easily and with only minor modifications be applied to existing communications systems, because, in many systems, the receiver of the base station already comprises the necessary measuring means for measuring the signal level of the received signal. The invention can be applied to such systems by adding a computer program to them for controlling the test.
  • the most significant advantages of the method and system of the invention are simplicity, easy and quick implementation, modest capacity requirements, and a possibility for an automatic continuous control without any need for the operator to even know about the execution of the test if the system does not provide an alarm to the operator due to abnormal measurement results.
  • a base station is provided with a prior art STM (Site Test and Measurement) unit.
  • a site test and measurement unit such as this, simulating the operation of an ordinary mobile station, is in common use in, for example, base stations of the GSM (Groupe Special Mobile) system.
  • the receiver of the site test and measurement unit is made hop sequentially to the frequency channels which are used for transmitting by the base station, in which case the receiver of the unit measures the levels of signals received on those frequency channels.
  • This embodiment of the invention can be applied to, for example, a base station of the GSM system in which every transceiver is of full-duplex type, and the duplex spacing between their transmit and receive frequencies is 45 MHz.
  • a frequency hopping receiver measures the receive frequencies of the base station
  • the receiver of the frequency hopping site test and measurement unit measures the transmit frequencies of the base station (i.e. the receive frequencies of mobile stations).
  • FIG. 1 is a block diagram illustration of a base station
  • FIG. 2 illustrates measurement results transmitted from the base station of FIG. 1 to a base station controller
  • FIG. 3 is a block diagram illustration of a part of a cellular communication system
  • FIG. 4 illustrates measurement results transmitted from the base station controller of FIG. 3 to a mobile switching center
  • FIG. 5 illustrates a preferred embodiment of a method of the invention.
  • FIG. 1 shows a block diagram of a base station BTS1 of the GSM system.
  • the structure and operation of the GSM system is described, for example, in "The GSM System for Mobile Communications", by M. Mouly & M-B Pautet, Palaiseau, France, 1992, ISBN: 2-9507190-0-7, and so, they are not described here in any closer detail.
  • the base station BTS1 (Base Transceiver Station) of FIG. 1 comprises three transceivers TRX which, through a combined transmit and receive antenna ANT, communicate with mobile stations within the radio coverage area of the base station at any given moment of time.
  • Each transceiver TRX is of full-duplex type and there is a duplex spacing of 45 MHz between its receive and transmit frequencies.
  • the receive units TRX comprise measuring means for measuring the power level RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indication) of the received signals in a way which is known per se.
  • RSSI Receiveived Signal Strength Indication
  • a base station BTS1 The operation of a base station BTS1 is controlled by an OMU (Operation and Maintenance Unit) communicating with the BSC1 (Base Station Controller), and which controls the synthesizer frequency hopping of the transceivers TRX so that the base station BTS1 receives radio signals on the frequency channels f1-f5, and transmits signals on the frequency channels f6-f10.
  • the operation and maintenance unit OMU further controls an STM (Site Test and Measurement Unit) which is provided in connection with the base station BTS1, which STM unit can simulate an ordinary subscriber unit by transmitting radio signals to the base station BTS1.
  • STM Site Test and Measurement Unit
  • the base station controller BSC1 of FIG. 1 comprises means for activating the operation and maintenance unit OMU and the site test and measurement unit STM for measuring the disturbance level of a base station environment.
  • the operation and maintenance unit allocates a free traffic channel, i.e. a time slot, in a transceiver TRX of the base station.
  • the operation and maintenance unit determines a frequency hopping sequence for the selected time slot, whereby all the frequencies f1-f5 which the base station uses for reception are gone through sequentially one-by-one by utilizing synthesizer frequency hopping.
  • the selected time slot remains on each given frequency channel for the time it takes for the receiver of the transceiver used to measure the signal level RSSI of the signals received on the respective frequency channel, i.e. approximately 1 second/frequency channel.
  • the operation and maintenance unit OMU transmits the RSSI values measured by the receiver further to the base station controller BSC1.
  • the operation and maintenance unit OMU directs the site test and measurement unit STM of the base station to measure the transmit frequencies f6-f10 of the base station. This measurement is also performed by making the receiver of the site test and measurement unit STM hop from one frequency channel to another, so that signal levels RSSI of the received signals can be measured from all the transmit frequencies f6-f10 of the base station.
  • the site test and measurement unit transmits the measurement results to the operation and maintenance unit OMU, which, as soon as the measurements have been carried out, transmits them further to the base station controller BSC1.
  • the operation and maintenance unit OMU comprises means for correcting the measurements that have been carried out by taking into account signals of connections that take place through the base station. In other words, if a base station, for example, has an ongoing call on a certain frequency channel while the site test and measurement unit STM is carrying out measurements on the corresponding channel, this naturally shows in the measurement result.
  • the operation and maintenance unit OMU is, however, aware of the used frequencies, and therefore is able to compensate the measurement results prior to transmitting them to the base station controller BSC1.
  • FIG. 2 illustrates measurement results that are transmitted from the base station BTS1 of FIG. 1 to a base station controller BSC1.
  • the chart of FIG. 2 shows the levels (RSSI) of signals measured frequency channel specifically on the receive channels f1-f5 (BTS-BAND) and on the transmit channels f6-f10 (MS-BAND) of the base station.
  • FIG. 3 is a block diagram illustration of a part of a cellular communication network, to which part the base station BTS1 of FIG. 1 belongs.
  • FIG. 3 shows a part of a GSM network which comprises a MSC (Mobile Switching Center), base station controllers BSC and BSC1, base stations BTS and BTS1 and site test and measurement units STM provided with the base stations.
  • MSC Mobile Switching Center
  • the base station controllers BSC and BSC1 of FIG. 3 comprise means for initiating disturbance level measurements in the base stations BTS and BTS1 coupled to them, and for receiving and processing the measurement results transmitted by the base stations. As soon as the base station controller BSC1, for example, has received the measurement results from all the base stations coupled to it (three of them in FIG. 3), it transmits, through a mobile switching center MSC, a report to the operator indicating the measurement results of the different base stations.
  • the base station controller can compare the measurement results to values predetermined by the operator, and, if the measured values significantly differ from the reference values, transmit an alarm to the operator through a mobile switching center.
  • FIG. 4 illustrates measurement results transmitted from the base station controller of FIG. 3 to the mobile switching center.
  • the report that is transmitted to the mobile switching center shows, base station specifically, the signal strength RSSI measured on each frequency channel.
  • FIG. 5 illustrates a preferred embodiment of the method of the invention.
  • the operator activates measurements of the disturbance level in the network by transmitting a message about it to the base station controllers, or alternatively, the mobile switching center performs the activation automatically at predetermined time intervals.
  • the base station controllers transmit a measuring message to the operation and maintenance unit of the base station.
  • the operation and maintenance unit in each base station, while activating the site test and measurement unit for the test, allocates a free time slot in the receiver of the base station.
  • the allocated time slot is made hop through all receive frequencies of the base station, and the receiver of the site test and measurement unit is to made to hop through all transmit frequencies of the base station.
  • a RSSI value is measured for all the frequency channels used by the base station, which value is then transmitted to the operation and maintenance unit by the receiver of the base station and the receiver of the site test and measurement unit.
  • the operation and maintenance unit transmits a report on the measurement results to the base station controller.
  • the base station controller compiles all the reports sent by base stations coupled to it, and then, in block 15, transmits the reports further to the mobile switching center which informs the operator of them.
